The Nikon Coolpix AW110 ($349.95 direct) is the follow-up to the AW100, a tough compact that won our Editors' Choice award when we reviewed it back in late 2011. The 16-megapixel AW110 improves upon the earlier model in small ways, including an improved underwater depth rating and built-in Wi-Fi, but it's not a drastically different camera. Other tough cams have added wider-aperture lenses, macro LED lights, and other features that make the category a bit more competitive. Our Editors' Choice rugged compact is one of those, the Olympus Tough TG-2 iHS( at Amazon); it's only $30 more than the Nikon, and packs an f/2 lens that makes it a more versatile low-light shooter. Design and Features The AW110($399.99 at Amazon) follows the traditional tough camera design scheme. The lens is an internal zoom design, located in the top corner of the body. The camera itself measures 2.6 by 4.4 by 1 inch and weighs 6.9 ounces. Its tough exterior can survive drops from a 6.6-foot height, can oper...

The rugged Nikon Coolpix AW110 is a modest update to its predecessor, the AW100. It can go deeper under water and adds Wi-Fi, but still suffers at high ISO settings.

Sharp OLED display; Built-in Wi-Fi with remote viewfinder support; Integrated GPS; Waterproof to 59 feet; Action button; 5x zoom range

Not the best performance in low light; Narrow aperture compared with the competition; Image sharpness suffers at edges of frame; So-so high ISO image quality

I bought this Nikon just for Hawaii, Underwater pictures. After 20 minutes, & some poor pictures, it just DIED. Like other Reviewers, this camera may be waterproof @ your backyard pool, or rainy park, Not in Saltwater ocean. I do own Nikon SLR, & Pocket Coolpix, they are great with sharp pictures.

The Nikon Coolpix AW110 is an all-weather, all-purpose digital compact camera featuring a robust exterior that is water, shock and freeze-proof. It also sports built-in GPS, a back-illuminated 16 megapixel sensor, EXPEED C2 processor and FullHD video recording.

I bought this to replace the AW100 I lost in my house during my move. I love that my phone can connect to it and get the pics or actually take pictures. I thought the camera had wifi built in to connect to any network, not that you can only connect to it.

Easy to Use; Good Battery Life; Great Resolution; Great Zoom; Large Clear LCD; Small / Compact

Lag / Shutter Delay; No Regular Batteries

The rainy season is here and this is possibly the most dangerous time of the year for all your electronic gadgets. If you are an avid shutterbug, then your camera is also one such gadget you don't want to get wet.

Waterproof, Dustproof; Shockproof; Good performance; Great OLED screen; Wi-Fi remote control from smartphones; Various filters; Price

Noticeable fringing in macro shots; Lacks manual control; Wi-Fi doesn't support web uploading and printing

The Nikon Coolpix AW110 is a fairly minor update to 2012's AW100, as you may have figured out by the incremental model number change.

If you're looking for a rugged camera, but don't want to sacrifice on-the-go sharing, the Nikon Coolpix AW110 is a good place to start.

The Nikon Coolpix AW110 is rated to survive being underwater down to 59 feet and drops of up to 6.6 feet along with being freezeproof and dustproof; has built-in GPS for geotagging among other things and Wi-Fi for easy shooting and sharing with iOS and Android devices; It is well priced considering its features and durability specs.

While its shooting performance is good; the camera's spongy buttons might slow you down a bit and the camera's slow lens requires a lot of light to get the best shots.

Got this nice / expensive camera as a gift, finally took it under water for some scuba pictures and FIRST dive, well under the indicated depth limits and it died.
Total baummer dude!! I expected so much more out of this well known brand. I got a lemon, I suppose.

Great Resolution; Large Clear LCD; Small / Compact

Complicated Controls; Limited Zoom; Poor in Low Light

So far so good. I live on a yacht and haven't gone there since I bought the camera so will test it out for underwater pictures later.

Great camera! Great quality pics! Great performance underwater and ashore! Loads of features! Easy to use! A floating wrist strap would've been nice.
